Red Wings Lost

Famous quotes containing the words red, wings and/or lost:

The good red fires were burning bright in every ‘longshore home;
The windows sparkled clear, and the chimneys volleyed out;
And I vow we sniffed the victuals as the vessel went about.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

the wrong ones kiss me.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
but with the wings of a wren.”
